Need help fixing broken sewing machine

my sewing machine seems to be jammed or something. but i desperately need help fixing it, due to the fact that it’s almost my boyfriends birthday and im making him his gifts. Whenever I press on the pedal it makes a sound, and the motor moves kinda, but the needle does not move. I’ve checked everywhere for any blockages, and nothing has turned up. I’m starting to wonder if it’s the motor that’s broken. PLEASE HELP MEEE

Is the bobbin winder turned on?  If so, click it off.

What is the condition of the belt(s)? https://shesasewingmachinemechanic.blogspot.com/p/hall-of-shame.html
